Planning Department

Welcome to the Planning Department's website. We hope that you will find it helpful and informative. This website has been designed to provide information on planning and development in Canton, including the Town's planning-related boards and commissions, plans and studies, and development and construction related information. It is our goal to provide the same information on the internet that you can obtain in our office. The Planning Department handles all matters related to zoning, floodplain management, annexation, addressing and the Town website. If you have questions regarding planning or zoning please feel free to contact us at the Canton Town Hall. Office hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding official holidays. We encourage you to visit us via the internet or in our downtown office to obtain more information about the Canton community or to assist you with your development project in Canton.

For questions related to Planning & Zoning please contact Nicholas Scheuer @ (828) 648-2363 or nscheuer@cantonnc.com. Staff is located at Canton Town Hall and available for walk-ins and/or appointments.
